Hi, I found out today that not all jar files in a directory are added to a classloader by tomcat at startup. When tomcat bootstrap creates Classloaders it ignores jar files that contain certain classes. We are using Borland Enterprise Server and need to add the Borland jar files to access their EJB and orb components.
However, putting asrt.jar in /lib is useless because it fails the validateJarFile() test in ClassLoaderFactory because it contains 2777 Fri Nov 09 12:14:26 EET 2001 javax/naming/Context.class 520 Fri Nov 09 12:14:36 EET 2001 javax/sql/DataSource.class So, if tomcat is ignoring these classes, what are the implications for adding asrt.jar to the classpath in catalina.bat|sh. It does not seem to cause problems (yet) but does tomcat have certain reliance on these and the other trigger classes?
